| Sweet Sounding DAC If you ever looked under the hood of an Audio Mirror you would run away in shock!! I have an Kora dual mono with a tube output stage and could not be happier. Nice thing about tubes in the line is that you can experiment and find a "sound" you l... | |
| best SACD player McCormack UP1 Deluxe! If you can ever find one. I have a Opera Audio Consonance reference 2.0 with a tube output buffer which is not too shabby either. BUT would buy a UP1 if I could find one..... | |
| Technical assistance and recommendations needed I have a Shitts EQ and sometimes it's helpful for really bad recordings but other than that it makes everything sound like a 1970's Pioneer receiver. I put it on line very sparingly. Those Monster Cable interconnects aren't helping you much eithe... | |
| Thinking of Magnepan ... finally! Buy them! I am on my 2nd pair. All my friends who have listened to them have bought them, or want to buy them. BUT they come with their own set of issues. First you need a no BS real high current amp, 200 watts at 8 ohms would do the trick. A... | |
| LOUDEST Concert and Tinnitus The Raveonettes at Mercury Lounge NYC spring 2005??? Small room, low ceiling - band cranked up to 11 or 12!!! I think they wanted to hurt us. Ears were ringing for 2 days. I was a DJ at The Peppermint Lounge way back when BUT we never hand any... | |

| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Ocean Digital WR 10 Digital Tuner. I bought it to dip my toe into the world of Internet Radio. It was becoming impossible to get even a clean mono signal from WQXR in NYC ( yes it's a shitty 710 watt classical station) But there was a time when ... | |
| Why Purchase A CD Player or Transport ? A good SACD player matched with the insanely wonderful Japanese single layer pressings ( and those 7" mini albums!!!) are just 2 very good reasons to still invest in that format. Plus you will never get laid with a streamer... now a wonderful McC... | |
| SkyfiAudio Please, I bought a very clean McCormack DNA 1 with a R1 upgrade for 900 bucks, rt here on Audiogon: their price for a dead stock one $2,000. My, As New - Cal Audio Labs CD with remote $475 theirs $1,100. The are SO INSANELY overpriced they sh... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Magnepan's! just make sure your amp is capable. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? Yes you can! They will do barter deals for ammo etc. Most dealers prefer NATO rounds but will usually take 223 as well. | |
| Is this a scam? What they all said. report him to Pay Pal too! | |
| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Magnepan 1.7i - 65.5 inches tall BUT only 2 inches wide ! : ) | |
| Why is used audio equipment so undesirable? I mostly buy used, never had a problem. Don't be afraid. Plenty of great bargains especially from those types chasing the "latest and greatest" I bought an Opera tube SACD player MINT with box and manual etc from a very well off individual. The u... |
